2.A.1.19.16
The organic anion transporter, Oat6 or SLC22a20 of 556 aas and 12 TMSs.  Binding and transport rates for 40 anionic substrates have been studied and compared with those for Oat1 (TC# 1.A.1.19.4) (Kaler et al., 2007). Oat6 transports many antiviral agents (Truong et al., 2008). It can bind odorants and is present in the mouse olfactory mucosa; it has been proposed to be an odorant receptor and/or odorant transporter (Wu et al. 2015). Mouse OAT6 is expressed predominantly in olfactory mucosa but not in kidney or brain (Monte et al. 2004).
